Anden Krønikebog 5
1 Da hele Arbejdet, som Salomo lod udføre ved HERRENs Hus, var færdigt, bragte Salomo sin Fader Davids Helliggaver, Sølvet og Guldet, derind og lagde alle Tingene i Skatkamrene i Guds Hus.
When all the work that Solomon did for the house of Yahweh was completed, Solomon brought in the things that David, his father, had set apart for this purpose, including the silver, the gold, and all the furnishings—he placed them into the treasuries of the house of God.
2 Derpå kaldte Salomo Israels Ældste og alle Stammernes Overhoveder, Israeliternes Fædrenehuses Øverster, sammen i Jerusalem for at føre HERRENs Pagts Ark op fra Davidsbyen, det er Zion.
Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, all the heads of the tribes, and the leaders of the families of the people of Israel, in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh from the city of David, that is, Zion.
3 Så samledes alle Israels Mænd hos Kongen på Højtiden i Etanim Måned, det er den syvende Måned.
All the men of Israel assembled before the king at the feast, which was in the seventh month.
4 Og alle Israels Ældste kom, og Leviterne har Arken.
All the elders of Israel came, and the Levites took up the ark.
5 Og de bragte Arken op tillige med Åbenbaringsteltett og alle de hellige Ting, der var i Teltet; Præsterne og Leviterne bragte dem op:
They brought up the ark, the tent of meeting, and all the holy furnishings that were in the tent. The priests who were of the tribe of Levi brought these things up.
6 Og Kong Salomo tillige med hele Israels Menighed, som havde givet Møde hos ham foran Arken, ofrede Småkvæg og Hornkvæg, så meget, at det ikke var til at tælle eller overse.
King Solomon and all the assembly of Israel came together before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen that could not be counted.
7 Så førte Præsterne HERRENs Pagts Ark ind på dens Plads i Templets Inderhal, det Allerhelligste, og stillede den under Kerubernes Vinger;
The priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Yahweh to its place, into the inner room of the house, to the most holy place, under the wings of the cherubim.
8 og Keruberne udbredte deres Vinger over Pladsen, hvor Arken stod, og således dannede Keruberne et Dække over Arken og dens Bærestænger.
For the cherubim spread out their wings over the place of the ark, and they covered the ark and the poles by which it was carried.
9 Stængerne var så lange, at Enderne af dem kunde ses fra det Hellige foran Inderhallen, men de kunde ikke ses længere ude; og de er der den Dag i Dag.
The poles were so long that their ends were seen from the holy place in front of the inner room, but they could not be seen from outside. They are there to this day.
10 Der var ikke andet i Arken end de to Tavler, Moses havde lagt ned i den på Horeb, Tavlerne med den Pagt, HERREN havde sluttet med Israeliterne, da de drog bort fra Ægypten.
There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets that Moses had put there at Horeb, when Yahweh made a covenant with the people of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.
11 Da Præsteme derpå gik ud af Helligdommen - alle de Præster, der var til Stede, havde nemlig helliget sig uden Hensyn til Skifterne;
It came about that the priests came out of the holy place. All the priests who were present had consecrated themselves to Yahweh, not ordering themselves according to their divisions.
12 og alle de levitiske Sangere, Asaf, Heman og Jedutun tillige med deres Sønner og Brødre stod østen for Alteret i Klæder af fint Linned med Cymbler, Harper og Citre, og sammen med dem stod 120 Præster, der blæste i Trompeter -
Also the Levites who were the singers, all of them, including Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and brothers, clothed in fine linen and playing cymbals, harps, and lyres, stood at the east end of the altar. With them were 120 priests blowing trumpets.
13 i samme Øjeblik som Trompetblæserne og Sangerne på een Gang stemte i for at love og prise HERREN og lod Trompeterne, Cymblerne og Musikinstrumenterne klinge og lovede HERREN med Ordene "thi han er god, og hans Miskundhed varer evindelig!" - fyldte Skyen HERRENs Hus,
It came about that the trumpeters and singers made music together, making one sound to be heard for praising and thanking Yahweh. They raised their voices with the trumpets and cymbals and other instruments, and they praised Yahweh. They sang, “For he is good, for his covenant loyalty endures forever.” Then the house, the house of Yahweh, was filled with a cloud.
14 så at Præsterne af Skyen hindredes i at stå og udføre deres Tjeneste, thi HERRENs Herlighed fyldte Guds Hus.
The priests could not stand in order to serve because of the cloud, for the glory of Yahweh filled his house.
